Rising sea levels may seem like a distant problem for those living inland, but their effects reach our food, goods, energy supplies and taxes.
Pedro de la Fuente is a climatologist, geographer, and sustainability and environmental technician with a strong academic background and extensive experience in meteorological communication. He holds a degree in Geography and Territorial Planning from the University of Zaragoza, as well as a Master’s degree in Applied Climatology and Media Communication from the University of Barcelona, and a Master’s degree in Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing from the University of Zaragoza.
Throughout his career, he has collaborated with a wide range of local and national media outlets, including Aragón Radio, Cuatro al Día (Mediaset), and Conexión Aragón (Aragón TV), where he provides clear analysis and explanations of current weather and climate-related phenomena.
As a writer, content creator, and science communicator on social media, Pedro combines scientific rigor with accessible language to bring meteorology closer to the general public. He is also an active member of ACOMET (Association of Meteorological Communicators), reinforcing his commitment to high-quality science communication.

With green cliffs, waterfalls plunging directly into the ocean, and a breathtaking lake, the Faroe Islands are home to some of Northern Europe's most spectacular landscapes.
For decades, the ocean has helped to cushion global warming by absorbing some of the CO2 we emit, but the UN warns that the climate crisis is weakening this natural process, which is essential for the planet.
The planet is on course to exceed 1.5°C of warming before 2030, and the UN is proposing a Plan B to limit the overshoot and try to return to that target.
Climate change cannot be halted overnight, but its consequences can be mitigated. The preservation of the microclimates within Mediterranean forests is a good example of this.
Green roofs can reduce urban heat, but their effectiveness depends on the vegetation surviving. Lack of maintenance, drought and extreme temperatures can cause it to die off.
Australia is not standing still: the continent of Oceania moves seven centimeters north-northeast every year, getting closer to Asia and drawing the future tectonic map of the Earth.
Up to 97% of wildfires in Europe are caused by human activity, but the spark alone doesn’t explain their severity: heat, drought and dry vegetation can turn it into an emergency.
Climate change is fueling increasingly extreme wildfires, but it does not fully explain their origin. The WMO warns that forest management and human activity remain key factors.
The oceans are experiencing unprecedented conditions, with sea surface temperatures reaching record highs for many consecutive days.
A new study reveals the hidden geological mechanism that amplified Japan’s devastating 2011 tsunami. This discovery will help scientists better understand how megathrust earthquakes originate and improve preparedness.
The scientific community has retired the most extreme climate scenario used for years and, far from questioning global warming, the decision reflects how the energy transition is already changing the future.
The Okavango River is a river that vanishes into the Kalahari Desert after an extraordinary journey through Angola, creating an inland delta that is crucial for biodiversity and one of the most extraordinary ecosystems in Africa.
Meteorologists warn that the Mediterranean Sea may already be capable of generating true hurricanes due to climate change. We review some of the most recent examples.
Among waterfalls, mist and a full moon appears one of the most unusual optical phenomena on the planet: the moonbow, a nocturnal rainbow visible only under very specific conditions.
Africa is not an immobile continent, and beneath its surface a fracture is slowly advancing and has already reached a critical stage that could open the door to a new ocean.
Sometimes the Moon seems to glow even on its dark side, and it is not an optical illusion, but a real phenomenon: Earth illuminating its own satellite in a curious and special celestial display.
The classic U.S. “Tornado Alley” is no longer where it used to be: meteorologists and storm chasers are detecting an eastward shift that is completely changing the risk map.
In the heart of the Pacific, a national park brings together active volcanoes, lush forests and extraordinary landscapes. We are talking about Hawaii Volcanoes, one of the most impressive natural destinations on the planet.
Not everyone has time to care for their houseplants daily, but there are resilient species that are perfect for urban apartments and can survive even if you forget to water them for days.
